Tomorrow
I've mostly avoided talking about politics (other than the debate drinking games) here, mostly because I haven't ever had enough time to write the well-thought out message that I thought it deserved. I'm tired of soundbites and smears, and didn't want to put forth anything that was less than well-considered.
Well, I have posted some, but not NEARLY as much as I would have liked.
So, my last months of posting probably don't support how incredibly excited I am about tomorrow's election. I only wish that I could go help out where needed. I think I'd like to be a line tender - no campaign materials, just stand by the line, handing out hot chocolate, snacks, and water, for people who have to wait hours and hours to vote. In 2004, I waited four hours to vote in Alexandria. Out here in the sticks, I usually walk in and walk out. Tomorrow might be a bit different, especially as I have to go after lunch, but I highly doubt it'll take four hours.
I'm sure I'll be up late tomorrow. Last time I (or any of us, really) stayed up long enough to know the results, I was at Dem HQ in Portage County, WI, watching Bill Clinton win. Funny, it wasn't all that late. Here's to a before-bed result!
